AFAIK, there's no way to pick a slide from an array, for instance like
that: int[] data = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7} ; getting data[5..data.length-1] is
impossible.

Maybe someone will explain this java drawback.

Anyway, I think it's never a good idea to use primitive types when using
Objects is possible. I've never been confortable about this primitive-object
mix of java. When you read the api, it sometimes look like Sun guys think
everybody have an infinite amount of RAM, but hey, they still use 'int'
as constants instead of static instances. Why ? Saving a few kBytes ?
